#promnotes Debt travesty continues. Wrong is wrong- what may b legally right can b morally wrong @JoanCollinsTD @lukeming @davidhall75 nitter.gq/ballyhea14/status/8104…
In @ecb book-balancing exercise, Ireland forced 2 destroy #promnotes €31bn. @DonnellyStephen explains #marian #vinb

I would trust @TomClonan any day over Helen NcE. The gov is there to represent and serve the public. It has no right to change our position of neutrality without a mandate from the people. And that’s exactly what it appears to be trying to do.
Absolutely not acceptable for gov to walk us into positions the majority of people do not agree with! We are a neutral country and it’s time to live up to that. But then again…nothing was learned from “bank bailout” was it!
Govt Betrayal of Gen Z - If Ireland deploys DF to *EU Support Mission to Ukraine or Lebanon without Triple Lock -NOT Blue Helmet Peacekeeping -It will be EU Peace ENFORCEMENT Mission to Disarm Hezbollah (Trilateral Deal With Israel US & Leb)-Foreign Wars? share.google/FOnhM4QwGwNbXcu…
Best of luck with it @ballyhea14
Haven't been near this house for some time, and this post is entirely for self-interest: tomorrow, this goes on sale. It's a bit more than a sport story; would appreciate a share, please, there's part of my soul between those pages.

Why is waiting room/on hold music so depressing? For those of us struggling to hold it together it doesn’t help! #itsthelittlethings
There has to be an onus on applicants too. My own experience is you get the opportunity to work and you do what you have to do. Everything can’t be handed to you by state.
Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon questions the Government’s plan to extend the wait for Irish citizenship from five to eight years - and asks what supports will be available to help applicants meet new language requirements.

A strong and proper immigration policy protects everyone including immigrants. In my time abroad, we were subject to strict rules for residency(citizenship was not an option) Commit a crime and you were out. So immigrants were never seen as a threat.
The problem with our citizenship rules as they are is that they are being highly abused. I actually saw one person on a forum I’m part of complaining during the fuel protests because the citizenship ceremony had been cancelled and they lost their flights to come back for it?
If people work hard and want to leave the proceeds of that to their children that’s not privilege. It’s the reward of hard work. If you make sacrifices to achieve, children usually are part of that sacrifice too. We need to actually start rewarding hard work more imo.
Cap lifetime inheritances at €400,000 per person so we’re not compounding privilege, says Dr Emma Howard, TU Dublin

Nonsense. I can tell you in the expat world the difference between 5 and 8years is nothing. Rule is for citizenship and not right to stay and work. Only hugely matters if your goal is a passport and move on imo.
Doctors warn new citizenship rules will make Ireland 'less viable' for healthcare workers irishexaminer.com/news/arid-…
Not really surprising, I would say literacy remains strong but maths has definitely declined and just wait….imo recent changes may well push us further down in maths. We have to stop dumbing things down…
Maths and reading performance among Irish students drops sharply in recent years irishexaminer.com/news/arid-…
It is hard enough to lose your husband unexpectedly, far too young. But the added layers of trauma added by needless bureaucracy in this country all just add to the grief. It seems to me that some Gov Dept’s are actually set up to avoid contact with public! This is hard
How is this in line with our neutrality? This gov is on a solo run without any checks??? Last time I checked ppl hadn’t voted to change. @TomClonan ?

Major US Air Strikes underway against #Iran -Winter of Discontent & Crisis -Meanwhile Our Minister for Defence suggesting Irish Troops participate in ‘EU Mission’ to ‘support’Lebanese Army -in other words join Lebanese Civil War against Hezbollah-Govt are Strategically Illiterate
It’s hard watching my baby girl head off to college alone. The void in our family since Rob died is immense. But what’s more…. The bureaucracy of this country is actually mind boggling. So many things just don’t make sense. Widowhood sucks!

Why? Mr Zelenskyy was only just here. Isnt there enough going on here to warrant taoiseach’s attention?
Taoiseach Micheál Martin is in Kyiv today for a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky

It is beyond shameful that we can’t have a few nice weeks of good weather before we start talking about water shortages and bans. A country like ours does not lack water resources. We have more rain than most countries. We just don’t do what we should do. Careless and neglectful
Something to look forward to. Congrats @vincentbrowne
